Class Documentation

class PlannerServer : public nav2_util::LifecycleNode

An action server implements the behavior tree’s ComputePathToPose interface and hosts various plugins of different algorithms to compute plans.

Public Types

using PlannerMap = std::unordered_map<std::string, nav2_core::GlobalPlanner::Ptr>

Public Functions

explicit PlannerServer(const rclcpp::NodeOptions &options = rclcpp::NodeOptions())

A constructor for nav2_planner::PlannerServer.

Parameters:

options – Additional options to control creation of the node.

~PlannerServer()

A destructor for nav2_planner::PlannerServer.

nav_msgs::msg::Path getPlan(const geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped &start, const geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped &goal, const std::string &planner_id)

Method to get plan from the desired plugin.

Parameters:

  • start – starting pose

  • goal – goal request

Returns:

Path

template<typename T>
bool isServerInactive(std::unique_ptr<nav2_util::SimpleActionServer<T>> &action_server)

Check if an action server is valid / active.

Parameters:

action_server – Action server to test

Returns:

SUCCESS or FAILURE

template<typename T>
bool isCancelRequested(std::unique_ptr<nav2_util::SimpleActionServer<T>> &action_server)

Check if an action server has a cancellation request pending.

Parameters:

action_server – Action server to test

Returns:

SUCCESS or FAILURE

void waitForCostmap()

Wait for costmap to be valid with updated sensor data or repopulate after a clearing recovery. Blocks until true without timeout.

template<typename T>
void getPreemptedGoalIfRequested(std::unique_ptr<nav2_util::SimpleActionServer<T>> &action_server, typename std::shared_ptr<const typename T::Goal> goal)

Check if an action server has a preemption request and replaces the goal with the new preemption goal.

Parameters:

  • action_server – Action server to get updated goal if required

  • goal – Goal to overwrite

template<typename T>
bool getStartPose(std::unique_ptr<nav2_util::SimpleActionServer<T>> &action_server, typename std::shared_ptr<const typename T::Goal> goal, geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped &start)

Get the starting pose from costmap or message, if valid.

Parameters:

  • action_server – Action server to terminate if required

  • goal – Goal to find start from

  • start – The starting pose to use

Returns:

bool If successful in finding a valid starting pose

template<typename T>
bool transformPosesToGlobalFrame(std::unique_ptr<nav2_util::SimpleActionServer<T>> &action_server, geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped &curr_start, geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped &curr_goal)

Transform start and goal poses into the costmap global frame for path planning plugins to utilize.

Parameters:

  • action_server – Action server to terminate if required

  • start – The starting pose to transform

  • goal – Goal pose to transform

Returns:

bool If successful in transforming poses

template<typename T>
bool validatePath(std::unique_ptr<nav2_util::SimpleActionServer<T>> &action_server, const geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped &curr_goal, const nav_msgs::msg::Path &path, const std::string &planner_id)

Validate that the path contains a meaningful path.

Parameters:

  • action_server – Action server to terminate if required

  • goal – Goal Current goal

  • path – Current path

  • planner_id – The planner ID used to generate the path

Returns:

bool If path is valid

void computePlan()
